Nautical

I don’t know about you but I am a sucker for all things nautical! And the knot cami & skipper pants from cabi’s new Yacht Cruise Collection are adorable together or as separates. I also am having a moment with the color yellow. My last three purchases have been in varying shades of yellow. Mustard, pale yellow and neon…yes, neon yellow! I don’t know what the pantone color of the year is…but it should be yellow if you ask me! =)

Happy April! But seriously…how is it already April?!?! It seems like we had the longest Winter ever but I gotta tell ya that Spring has come on strong and I am VERY happy about it. The flowers are in major bloom from all the rain we had. People are driving out to the desert to take pics with the poppies but I keep seeing wildflowers on the side of the roads/freeways that are so pretty I’ve thought about a photo shoot right there on the freeway off ramp…lol. In other good news, cabi just released their new arrivals (check out the Yacht Cruise Collection here) and I already found my Easter dress in the Aurora dress! I am obsessed with the crisscross/halter neckline.

I snapped these pics a few weeks ago and then totally forgot to share them here on the blog! Oops. Thankfully our weather has warmed up a bit since then so I think we are done with sweater weather for the most part. I hope, anyways! I think I’m also done with smaller brimmed fedora’s…this one looks so Freddy Krueger-ish to me now after wearing larger structured hats as of late. Oh well, what are ya gonna do…you win some, you lose some. =)

P.S. I’m totally going to have nightmares tonight for naming this post after the Nightmare on Elm Street song…eek!

I’ve had several friends ask me how I possibly keep my 6 year old occupied long enough to take him with me shopping. The answer is simple…he’s been shopping with me since he was probably about a year old! It started out with having enough toys to keep him entertained. Then we moved on to snacks. Then the ipad was a life saver. And then he got too big to fit in a stroller so I was certain he would not last longer than a store or two. But he has surprised me and is quite the little shopper/helper. I’m sure his future wife will love me for this. =) A couple of weeks ago, we made a trip down to Westfield UTC Mall to do a little shopping (I also had to pick up a suit my husband was having altered at Nordstrom). We got there around noon so the first thing we did was stop by Lemonade which I thought was just going to be a little lemonade stand…turns out it has quite the menu!

After lunch we were off for a bit of shopping. I hit up a few of my favorite stores first…Madewell and Zara. I shared these overalls on Instagram and Facebook and got an overwhelming response that I NEED them in my life. I think YOU do too! =) I also got a lot of questions about my tennis shoes. I am wearing Vans hi-tops (BTW, there also happens to be a Vans store in the mall). I seriously considering snagging another pair of them. They are SO comfy…and remind me of my youth. The funny thing is…my son said I looked like a teenager when I came down the stairs wearing them. LOL. He actually has a pair too so we look like twinsies now.

Then I decided to stop by Lette to pick up some macarons for my hubby for Valentine’s Day. But I wouldn’t give them to him until I got my IG pic of them. They are too pretty not to share. You can see what I posted here.

And last but not least, I took my sweet boy to the LEGO Store and Geppetto’s. He was obsessed with the wall of LEGO’s separated by color. I have to admit, I seriously considered buying myself a stash of pink Lego’s because…why not?!? We finished our afternoon playing on the little playground structure before we made our way home. I think it’s safe to say that we both had a great time!

Thank you to Westfield UTC for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my IG story about Baublebar’s new line of jewelry called SUGARFIX available exclusively at Target. It’s got all of the on-trend style you’ve come to expect from Baublebar, only it’s available at a lower price point! Just another reason to LOVE Target…am I right, ladies? I am wearing the Wrap Choker Necklace (also available in pink) above but you can check out the full collection here. And now is the perfect time to check the collection out because starting today through March 25th, all SUGARFIX by Baublebar jewelry will be “by one, get one 50% off”!
